How do you take this apart?!?!

If you have the assembly instructions, remove the last piece assembled very carefully and work your way backwards. You might want the acrylic to be warm room temperature, not cold. And, keep a container of super glue ready.

Horrible and difficult - I felt like I was going to break it when I returned it

Theres really no instructions, all i did was turn my chair upside down and gave it a big pull, the old part came out of the seat but i had to use a hammer to remove the other section. I used a pair of water pump pliers to get a hold of it and give it a twist to loosen it from the base as it was stuck with "age". that was a big help and i would use that technique before using a hammer lol but it worked none the less. After you get the base and seat separated from the plunger, just set the new one in. the end with the red button goes in the seat end and the other goes in the base. Hope this helps, but as far as the part itself goes, it works fine.

I couldn't find a way to separate without breaking it. So I end up just rinsing it out after use. In that way it is a poor design. If someone knows how to do it, I would be interested in knowing too.

You can take it apart if need be. Just keep instructions and tool(s) sent with the desk....Z.

I can be taken apart but not easily. I have used several times and placed it in a bowl of bleach afterward.

I've taken similar ones apart before, all you need is a long small Phillips screwdriver. I just hope you had better luck with yours than I did, I didn't use it for a few weeks after I got it and after about two days it started making such a racket it was a joke, after I let it run for a few hours it works fine but as soon as I have time it's coming apart for an overhaul.

I have taken mine apart a lot during the set up process. I misplaced the directions and put it together and took it apart around 3 times until I got it right. It takes a bit of strength to pull the pieces back apart but other than that its awesome!

Hi Nana. Stubborn little thing isn't it? When I first tried it, I thought " Wow! This thing ain't right!", but it's just made that way. I assume that's because the assembly has a slight spring pressure that keeps it from coming apart before you're ready. There are two small "nubs" on the shaft of the orange plastic assembly that prevent the thing from just coming apart. You need to exert a little more force and it comes right out. I wouldn't use pliers or a screwdriver...well maybe a screwdriver (extra vodka please !)... but not a mechanical device. I hope this helps you out. ( It seems to come out easier each consecutive time.) Have a great day. Tony

I've taken it apart for a move before. It's not terribly straightforward but with a power drill I disassembled it in under an hour.

You can take it apart, you just have to unscrew the stuff that keeps the plates in place on the rod--which is very easy to do--and then make sure you put all of the washers, nuts, etc. in something. I use a ziploc bag and tape it underneath one of the plates.

Hold the bottom with one hand and the top with the other hand then turn the bottom or the top while holding the other part steady. Turn and pull apart at the same time. You have to pull and turn very hard. That removes the base then unscrew the glass container.

Mine came assembled and I don't see a way (or at least an easy way) to disassemble it.

Hi Carol. At the bottom is a small indentation where you put a coin or screwdriver and gently but firmly pry the top and bottom apart. Hope this helps.

Twist the bottom of the handle, which releases the top and it comes apart. Change the blade and reassemble.

remove the key from the fon. then on the sides you will see two small notches use a small screwdriver to pry the two pieces apart, work it all the way around once you have that back apart a little bit
